CARS has pretty bad wheel lag at the moment too. Once they get that sorted i'll check it out. I didnt realise they do weekly builds though , no information at all. I thought they'd send emails out. Maybe they do but it gets lost in all the junk.

I just have to say CARS has really improved last months, look at this from the trailer competition.

Mmm, that 207 build released today is sweeeet! They have done some major fix to the colors so they don't look so "washed out" that I really like. And the BAC Mono really starts to feel great to drive now! The handling has improved a lot all over the line too the latest months! Getting more simulation feel every week :) It's so nice every friday when we have not gotten an update here to get a new build with tons of new stuff since the last week!

Just look at the release notes for this weeks build what has changed in just a WEEK - and that's the amount of new stuff they manage to push into the game every week!
